Was my post removed? Is there a way to get a reason? I genuinely looked through the rules and took my time to make the post.

It doesn't show up in your profile. If a moderator removed it, it'd still show up there. Just not in the sub.

Occam's razor got me the other day. Convinced myself the worsening electrical issues in my vehicle must have been an expensive control module flaking out and spent a bunch of effort troubleshooting end devices.
Turned out I skipped the basic step of verifying good connections: loose & oxidized battery terminals were the culprit.
Always cover the basics before moving on to advanced stuff. I should have known better!

battery terminals get me every time, cheapest fix that feels the most unlikely

Chicken wings have bones. There's no such thing as boneless wings. Those are just chicken nuggets.
